Flamingo Estate The Guide to Becoming Alive

The Guide to Becoming Alive is part manifesto, part memoir from Flamingo Estate founder Richard Christiansen. The coffee table book features lessons from the garden, and candid conversations with his heroes and friends including: Jane Goodall, Alice Waters, Jo Horgan, Martha Stewart, Jane Fonda, Terry Tempest Williams, Kelly Wearstler, David Leon, Jobi Manson, Gonzalo Samaranch Granados, Elise Loehnen, Erica Chidi, Ellen DeGeneres, Chrissy Teigen, John Legend, David de Rothschild, Dr. Kerry Howells

Together they talk about work ethic, love, purpose, food, exercise, technology, politics, design, plants, and dogs. There are plenty of great images and lots of words to live by. In a world that feels chaotic, this is a roadmap.
